Paintings in 2010-2015 by RICHARD WALDRON

I am gradually developing a style reminiscent of the Post Impressionists, Fauves and maybe a touch of Dada, which I call New Post Impressionism.
I still experiment with style but am heavily influenced by Van Gogh and Monet, Matisse and others of that period.
I work often in Oils, Pastel, sometimes in water-colour and acrylics.
I remain figurative (not figures, but representational) and do not much agree with the move toward conceptual art. After all, art has always been conceptual since the Church decreed story telling, but skill has always been a factor. Modern conceptual artists do not even need to draw, so where is the skill? What for instance does an unmade bed or a cow in aspic tell us? Art moves on it is true, but it still needs to be bought and displayed.
